11 Seniors Face Last Year The Senior Class was the smallest class in high school, having only 18 members. Four students of this group had entered the first grade in Hinckley Grade School in 1941. They are Nancy Bowker, Lois Burmester, Nancy Clark, and Marlene Severance. All through high school they had looked forward to this, their senior year. Now that all required subjects were completed-or at least they hoped so-the seniors thought they could take it easy, resting up for what was ahead of them-but they found to their dis- gust and some well-concealed joy, that the year of rest would have to wait until the tassel was duly turned. This last year of high school proved to be the busiest of all. There was the little matter of selling subscriptions to various magazines in hopes that the profits would swell their depleted funds as they needed money to help finance the senior class trip. Then, too, there was the vital question of deadlines for ordering invitations-getting all work in on time or you don't graduate! Where shall we go on our Senior trip? ttc. These questions were no sooner settled when other matters arose to plague the members . . . Filling out blanks . . . applying for jobs . . . meeting registrars with the view of attending college-if so, what college? All these problems were enough to keep the aforementioned seniors in hot water most of the time. However, the result of this jumble was a dignified person with weighty opinions on the atom bomb, whether 18- year olds should be allowed to vote, and on the national debt. The spring of 1952 with its Prom activities had made Roger Kaus stand out, there- fore, in the Spring election he was awarded the presidency, and Douglas Engel was elected vice president. Ronald Bastian was elected secretary and jerry Morsch treasurer. The class began the year with Mrs. Westlake as their adviser, which she had been in their Freshmen, Sophomore, and junior years. When Mrs. Westlake moved away Mr. Hillman took over the duties for the remainder of the year. Special honors went to Marlene Severance who was this year's Hinckley winner of the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award. She was voted by her classmates and teachers as most nearly approaching the qualities necessary for the award. These qualities are: de- pendability, service. leadership, and patriotism. Lois Burmester was chosen as the representative to the Illini Girls' State at Mac- Murray College which was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The first week in May the class took a trip to New York City where they visited many famous points of interest. Soon after returning from the trip, the events of the year reached a climax when the Seniors were entertained at a banquet and prom given by the luniors. For some graduation means the end of their formal education, while for others it is only a stepping-stone to college. --Bastian-W'eiherman Insurance Agency, Hinckley, Illinois---
